Abstract A brushless motor and propeller test stand is used to test brushless motors and propellers. This testing instrument is still only available in research laboratories. Students and researchers are unable to use laboratory facilities because of the Covid-19 epidemic, thus students must be able to do tests independently from home. Purchasing this testing instrument would be too expensive for students. It is essential to construct a brushless motor and propeller testing instrument at home using simple components that are easy to get on the marketplace. The design concept reads force data using a loadcell sensor and an HX711 driver, and current and voltage data with an INA 219 sensor. The brushless motor’s rotational speed is controlled by a potentiometer. Force, current, voltage, and power are all examples of test results data. A 16×2 LCD is used to show data immediately. Data is also transmitted via a USB connection to a computer device for storage or additional analysis. This study proposes a simple brushless motor and propeller test stand that can measure forces from 0 gf to 1000 gf with an error rate of 0.72 %. The power that can be read ranges from 0 mW to 18960 mW, with a 0.59 % error rate.

One that affects aircraft performance is the thrust. The thrust is determined according to the requirements of the aircraft itself. This study uses a thrust test stand that uses a mass gauge as a thrust gauge, using two brushless motors and five propellers to determine the optimal thrust for X-UAV Mini Talon aircraft flying missions. The thrust required by the X-UAV Mini Talon aircraft - is known to be 0.6755 N for cruise flights and 4.979 N for take-off aircraft. After testing, the smallest thrust is produced by the configuration of the DYS 2826-13 brushless motor with a 5x3 inch propeller, while the biggest thrust by the RacerStar BR2212 brushless motor with a 10x6 inch propeller. Compared to calculations with propeller static thrust equation, the difference in thrust in testing with propeller static thrust ranges from 15% to 25%. Therefore, the optimal configuration for flying cruising is the DYS 2826-13 brushless motor with a 5x3 inch propeller, which produces a thrust of 0.988 N. Then, for the optimal configuration take-off is the Brushless DYS 2826-13 with a 9x5 inch propeller, which results in a thrust of 6,151. The configuration above was chosen because it is more efficient, with smaller current requirements compared to other configurations with more or less equivalent thrust.

In this multisite study, VITEK® 2 AST-Gram-Negative Ceftazidime-Avibactam (CZA) test results for 1073 isolates (866 Enterobacterales and 207 Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were compared to the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution (BMD) reference method. The results were analyzed for essential agreement (EA), category agreement (CA), major error rates, and very major error rates following FDA/ISO performance criteria using the FDA-recognized CLSI/EUCAST breakpoints (S ≤8/4 μg/ml and R ≥16/4 μg/ml). The overall EA was 94.5% (1014/1073) and CA was 98.7% (1059/1073). No very major errors were reported. The major error rate was 1.4% (14/998). Out of 14 major errors, 9 were within EA. Based on the EA and lack of an intermediate category for CZA, the adjusted major error rate for FDA criteria was 0.5% (5/998). The performance for ISO criteria after error resolutions included EA 94.5% (1014/1073), CA 98.9% (1061/1073), major error 1.2% (12/998), and no very major error. Vitek 2 met the ISO and FDA criteria of ≥95% reproducibility and ≥95% quality control (QC) results within acceptable ranges for QC organisms. Vitek 2 overall performance for Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa met or exceeded the FDA and ISO performance criteria and thus is a reliable alternative to BMD reference method for routine CZA susceptibility testing.

A universal controller for brushless direct current (BLDC) motors was designed in the presented article. The system is controlled from the user console where operating parameters are set by the user. Signals are transmitted by cables to microcontrollers which control and monitor electric motors. Microprocessors communicate via a data bus. The controller contains the user console module and the motor control module. The user console module generates commands, and motors are controlled and monitored by the control module. Motor control modules operate independently, and each brushless motor has a dedicated control module. Brushless motors can be controlled in bipolar or unipolar mode. The control method is selected by the operator. The user console and motor controllers communicate via the I²C bus.

In this paper, the moisture susceptibility of different bituminous binders with two substrates (glass and limestone) was investigated. To that end, the tensile strength of different combinations of bituminous binder–substrate bond was measured using a pull-off test. This test was adapted from the pneumatic adhesion tensile testing instrument (PATTI) test to improve repeatability. Samples were tested in dry condition and after a 7-day conditioning in hot water bath (60 °C). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the test results. Overall, the results show that in dry condition, the pull-off strength is a function of the bituminous binder type rather than of the substrate type. After water conditioning, an increase in the pull-off strength was observed for the bituminous binder without polymers and coupled with glass substrate. This was associated with an increase in binder stiffness. For the limestone substrate, the effect of water conditioning was significant only for one type of binder.

the reliability and vibration performance test of vibratory rollers have been done in the test field to ensure that the vibratory roller meet the quality requirement. At present, the indoor test stand for vibratory roller has not yet been studied at home and abroad. This paper designs the indoor test stand for vibratory roller and makes simulation analysis by the numerical model of vibration-drum and test stand. The vibration isolation system of test stand is determined as a function of the test stand mass (m2), the stiffness of rubber tire (k1) and the stiffness of the vibration isolation block (k2). The test results showed that the vibration drum-test stand model can account for the vibration isolation system.

Displacements or deformations of materials or structures are measured with linear variable differential transducers (LVDT), fibre optic sensors, laser sensors, and confocal sensor systems, while strains are measured with electro-resistant tensometers or wire strain gauges. Measurements significantly limited to a point or a small area are the obvious disadvantage of these measurements. Such disadvantages are eliminated by performing measurements with optical techniques, such as digital image correlation (DIC) or electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). Many devices applied to optical measurements only record test results and do not cooperate with the system that exerts and controls load. This paper describes the procedure for preparing a test stand involving the Digital Image Correlation system ARAMIS 6M for remote-controlled loading. The existing hydraulic power pack (ZWICK-ROELL) was adapted by installing the modern NI cRIO-9022 controller operating under its own software developed within the LABVIEW system. The application of the DIC techniques to directly control load on the real structure is the unquestionable innovation of the described solution. This led to the elimination of errors caused by the test stand susceptibility and more precise relations between load and displacements/strains which have not been possible using the previous solutions. This project is a synergistic and successful combination of civil engineering, computer science, automatic control engineering and electrical engineering that provides a new solution class. The prepared stand was tested using two two-span, statically non-determinable reinforced concrete beams loaded under different conditions (force or displacement). The method of load application was demonstrated to affect the redistribution of bending moments. The conducted tests confirmed the suitability of the applied technique for the remote controlling and recording of test results. Regardless of the load control method (with force or displacement), convergent results were obtained for the redistribution of bending moments. Force-controlled rotation of the beam section over the support was over 50% greater than rotation of the second beam controlled with an increase in the displacement.
